Hi guys so the BGA rework station finally arrived yesterday.
I came very well packed but without any instructions. I had to refer to a couple of videos showing these machines working on youtube to figure out exactly which bit went where, but now I have it all put together
I did ask the seller for a user manual yesterday and today I have an English user manual PDF for the LY G720 in my email
It looks a nice well built machine. I have played around with some scrap boards with BGA and QFP chips on them but so far I haven't managed to unsolder anything. I don't think there is anything wrong with the machine I think it is something wrong with me lol
It came with about a dozen preloaded profiles. Some have chinese names but others such as Leaded 1 2 and 3, Unleaded 1 & 2 seem fairly obvious
The problem I am finding is that the solder isn't melting even though the thermo-couple tells me the temperature is high enough for Lead Free to liquify
Here's a few pics, and a video I've made of the machine in operation and showing what is going wrong
Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this?
cheers
